When my grandad died in 1982, even after a PM, no cause of death could be found.

He had bronchitis - he'd had that for donkey's years and that was put on the death certificate, but his doctor told us that it almost certainly didn't kill him. He simply died in his sleep, aged 83, having been apparently fit and well the previous day. A century earlier and no doubt that would have been recorded as "old age".

It was a worry though, and the funeral had to be delayed while the authorities huffed and puffed, but in the end as it was clear that there were no suspicious circumstances, they released his body.

My father died in 2000, of some mysterious infection which was so mysterious that the registrar had to phone the certificating doctor for clarification. We never did get a satisfactory explanation (suppurative adenitis) of the thing which took him in 24 hours from a fighting fit 79 year old out pruning the leylandii to dead.
